[A ruled advertisement in black and white inside a thin black rectangular frame, with one line-engraved drawing and the rest in type. The first lines, set in spaced roman capitals and lowercase, name the rider and team; “MOYEU A BLOCAGE RAPIDE” follows in large bold roman capitals. The brand name “GNUTTI” stands in very heavy sans-serif capitals inside a thick rounded black outline. Beneath it is a front hub drawn in line engraving with fine hatching: a slim barrel with two perforated flanges, a pointed axle end at the left and, at the right, a bent quick-release lever lying along the axle with a small oval plate that bears the word “GNUTTI” and a tiny emblem, and a nut end with a small hanging catch. A small interlaced monogram sits under the right flange and reads as DR. The lower half is a text block: “La célèbre marque italienne” in bold slanted type, then a light sans-serif list of the other products in three lines, a wavy rule, and the stocking agent’s name “Ets J.-E. CANETTI & Cie” in bold roman capitals beside an underlined condensed label, with the address and telephone number in a thin sans-serif beneath. A letter in one word of the list, “pédaliers”, is damaged in the print.]
